"the delicate floral and sweet fruit flavor that can be brought out by a cup of water washed by Yirgacheffe is unparalleled, or the sun-treated Sidamo, sweet and atmospheric, is the most classic top representative of Ethiopian coffee.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of the famous Arabica coffee beans, and people have always maintained the tradition of harvesting wild coffee beans. The coffee garden with an elevation of more than 1500 meters has formed a unique coffee style after more than a thousand years of evolution and adaptation. Ethiopian coffee grown in the natural wild environment is called "wilderness coffee". It retains the most primitive and natural taste of coffee beans and has the most direct and full expression of the local environment.

-- Brian Jones, author of Dear Coffee, I Love You, a well-known professional coffee website

Kenya has a short history of coffee. Arabica coffee varieties were introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, and more Bourbon varieties from Brazil were cultivated later. In the early British colonial period, a perfect cultivation management system was established for the Kenyan coffee industry. The lower temperatures in the high-altitude mountains of Kenya prolong the ripening period of coffee beans, which can fully accumulate the complex aroma of the fruit. Unrestrained acidity and heavy aromas of fruit, such as blackcurrant and grapefruit, constitute the rough ripening characteristics of Kenyan coffee.
